First loop, while it’s in the tool still, hold it clamped shut and then bend the wire back away from the loop slightly to get the eye/hole more centered with the shaft... also give you a little crease for the pliers to help close the loop if needed. I use stainless steel leader wire from cabelas/bass pro. Size #10. Which is 0.024” diameter. I tried making the micro shanks with #5 & #7 wire but it’s too thin so I shaped the ends of a pair of hemostats with a dremmel and bend micro shanks by hand.
A game changer for making a game changer
Thanks for this video. Exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Thank you, the price of shanks are crazy...much appreciated

That just gave me 10 ideas, thank you!!
Herman, where did you purchase the wire? Looks similar to orthodontist wire.
Thanks, Ralph
The link for the pliers defaults to the small size (1.5mm). Is that the correct size for the wire?
Nice 👍
Where did you get the .030 wire? Can you supply a source please. Thanks for the tips!!!
So it will work on.051 wire
thanks
Nice vid
You based outa Colorado!?
I used .30 stainless bite wire and the looper blade did not last more than a few cuts it is dull anyone have this happen?
This works for game changer sections too
Like what he said in the beginning of the video? Thanks for the update.
